We changed the brake pads and rotors on my nephew's truck and my van last weekend. What to do with those old rotors? Well, since they fit perfectly on a 12" rim we made some inside/outside wheel weights out of them.

I know I’m not the only one around here that finds it kind of amazing how perfectly good re-purposable stuff goes off to the scrapyard for pennies a pound or simply thrown in the trash. I made a great back yard fire pot by bolting together a pair of brake drums that came off a semi my friendly local alignment shop gave me for next to nothing. I topped it off with a recycled grill and now it is one. It’s pretty impressive for a piece of junk if I do say so myself. It’s hurricane proof in any case! Lolz
Just picked up a case of those on Friday. I put those in the freezer for 30 minutes. Problem is they go down a lot quicker. Not sure if that's good or bad. They taste better in the bottle but a pain to put in a carriage at the Packy. They are heavier to carry.
Some guys who did drywall when I was younger used those stilts everyday and then incorporated them into their Halloween costumes once a year. Pretty cool costumes when you can be 8 ft tall
I'm not sure. Maybe 40 ish per tire.
The 3/4 ton van rotors are much heavier than the 1/2 ton truck rotors.
I have some front weights that might fit right into that deep dish spot on the outside rotors
